Caroline Crouch’s husband flanked by six armed cops as he arrives at Athens court accused of Brit mum’s murder

CAROLINE Crouch’s husband has arrived at court flanked by six armed cops after being accused of murdering the Brit mum. Babis Anagnostopoulos, 34, is alleged to have smothered his 20-year-old wife to death last year in front of their baby daughter before staging a burglary to blame it on an Albanian gang.

In the weeks that followed, Babis kept up his charade, crying to reporters, visiting his wife’s grave with their daughter, Lydia, and comforting Caroline’s heartbroken parents. Police became suspicious when his story began to fall apart during an eight-hour interrogation before he was finally arrested on June 17 after making a shock confession. He has been held at the country’s top-security Korydallos prison since, and arrived at Athens Court Complex ahead of his murder trial wearing a black suit, face mask and bullet proof vest with his hand cuffed behind his back.

The dad later said he regretted his actions and will try to prove that the killing was not premeditated in a bid to dodge a life sentence.

Speaking to Sun Online ahead of the trial, the Crouch family lawyer, Thanassis Haramanis, said: “The self-confessed perpetrator of this crime has already proved that he will do anything to reduce his sentence. “That is his goal, and we will see it being played out in court. But we are confident and optimistic, that justice will be served. He will not be able to hide.” EPAThe pilot wore a face mask and a black suit as he arrived at court[/caption] Social Media - Refer to SourceHe is accused of murdering Brit mum Caroline Crouch[/caption] How you can get help Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families: Always keep your phone nearby. Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine. If you are in danger, call 999. Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”. Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare. If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone. Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space. If you are a ­victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200.
